Dinner and a Movie

[thisnewday]

Made a quick trip out, tonight, for copy paper and salad fixin's. Was supposed to drive into the city again to bring the grandson home from his dad's, but guess he decided to spend the night.

Went to Tar-jhay for the printer papier and while there perused the 5- to 10-dollar movies. Happened to spot a lone DVD of Casablanca for 5 bucks and, since I'd never watched it, brought it home.

Back at the house, made a salad and low-sodium dressing to go with the l-s chili left over from last night. Then sat down to dinner and a movie.

Here's lookin' at you, kid...

Wow, you had never seen it. So, what do you think? After the holiday madness subsides I plan to watch it again. After reading "A Gentleman..." figured a rewatch is appropriate. And, maybe I'll do "The African Queen" too. You know, just me and Bogie and my new weighted blanket. Lol

What I think is that I'm gonna have to watch it at least one more time before I comment.

There were a few things that I wasn't quite certain of and I want to be sure, before I cite them as flaws in a classic film, that they're not simply gaping deficiencies in my own emotional makeup or intellectual development or both, lol.

Hope you and Bogie enjoy the weighted blanket...

At least he won't try to steal all of it. Lol

Do you like older movies generally?

I can't speak highly enough about the Criterion Channel's streaming service. So many gems! A bit pricy—$11 a month. But cheaper, I think, if you swing for a year's subscription all at once.

I wasn't aware of their streaming service, but I always browse the Criterion DVDs at Barnes & Noble when I'm there. I'm not a classic movie fan, per se, but thinking that maybe a few of them should be on my bucket list...
